Honestly, this was one of the worst interview experiences I’ve ever had. I went through three interviews, with the final one being a meeting with the CEO—something I rearranged my schedule for and genuinely prepared for. But the CEO missed our scheduled Zoom interview twice, and HR only informed me after I was already sitting in the meeting room waiting. It felt like my time meant nothing to them. Then HR rescheduled it as an in-person interview. I showed up on time, only to be greeted by an employee who clearly had no idea she was supposed to interview me. She spent over an hour just talking in circles, repeatedly reassuring me the CEO would come “soon.” When he finally arrived—an hour late—he came in with a negative attitude from the start. He asked fewer than five basic questions, and when it was my turn to ask about the role, he gave me short, dismissive, one-word answers. A week later, I followed up with HR, and they told me no decision had been made—even though I saw the exact same job reposted the day after my interview. Two weeks after that, I followed up again, and only then did they tell me they had “moved on.” No respect, no closure, not even the decency to send a rejection letter. I’ve never had a company waste my time like this. The lack of professionalism was unbelievable.

There were three interviews, before I proceed to the final stage, they called me and told me that they’ve changed their mind so the role will start as a freelance and only task based rather than full time role to see if I fit in the role. I turned it down straight away because there’s no point for me to quit my full time job to ‘freelance’ and not knowing how long it will be and whether they will hire me as a full time at the end.
